Sandeep Dikshit, Congress candidate from East Delhi, said, "People talk about Modi wave, but where is the wave? BJP president Rajnath Singh would not have changed his seat from Ghaziabad to Lucknow had there been Modi's wave. BJP leaders are deserting their seats and searching for safe seats. The wave is all in advertisements. BJP is misleading people."

Delhi Congress chief Arvinder Singh took aim at Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party which quit the Delhi government after 49 days of rule saying, "People have seen development in the 15-year-rule of the Congress government. They have also seen the mess in the 49-day-rule of the Aam Admi Party where all development has been stalled."
